Magazine F Issue 14 (Beer) is available now on loremnotipsum.com. Brewed from barley, hops, and water, Beer is considered the most popular alcoholic beverage in human history. Lagers account for nearly 80 percent of all beer sold in the global market by big-name brands. The aughts saw a boom in craft beer, comparable to the third wave of coffee. The most interesting work in the space is by small breweries constantly pursuing innovation in ingredients, brewing methods and marketing. The emphasis on creating unique flavors also gave birth to new visions, like microbrews and gypsy brewing, through which craft industry evolves relentlessly.
Magazine F is a food documentary magazine co-created by Magazine B and Baemin, which introduces one particular ingredient that has had a significant impact on people’s table. Baemin has become a critical mover and shaker in South Korean contemporary food culture, and B provides a balanced view on brands through multi-layered stories. This collaboration brings together these two areas of expertise in F, which is hoped to become a record of essential ingredients and food culture of our time. Magazine B’s sister publication, Magazine F enriches your experience with everyday ingredients. Each issue explores how an ingredient is grown, prepared, and shared in different cultures around the world, through in-depth interviews, inspiring stories, and beautiful photos.
